Hi! I re-tested this with Epiphany 40.1 and WebKitGTK 2.32.1 and the video
plays fine for me. Could you check on your end with a newer WebKitGTK
version and confirm whether it works now for you?

And thanks for the bug report!

Thank you for your message.
I have tested with the version of Epiphany installed on Debian 11, and now it works.
Now sure if the webpage is the same as before, though.
So I think you can close this bug report.

While the page might have changed,  I suspect that the round of
multimedia playback improvements we got into the 2.32.x releases
may have helped here, too.

At any rate, thanks for confirming, and let's close this :)
